    That is very true. At this point maybe, he should just blame that whole thing on Doc Rivers.

    Harden doesnt even have to do that, just play passable defense. AND PLAY LIKE YOURSELF MAN. Hit a couple threes. STAY SOLID. The man cannot even be asked to do that.

    Tracy gets flack because he never advanced passed the first round, sometimes while losing as the favorite

    Harden is similar except his production has been notorious while doing it

    Harden fans got hit harder than Celtics fans tonight. But you have to understand to still cover for him after all this meant they were deep in delusuon

    but the cruelty of it all is TMAC didn't play that bad in the playoffs. He just needed a Caleb Martin.

    Oh hell no - that has to be the most ludicrous thing I have seen. The only more ludicrous thing is if the Celtics actually give him that extension.

    Man getting Harden to just play regular to win a game in the playoffs gotta be harder than going up against Cancer. the guy is so weird. Too frustrating for me to really root for again.. Im telling you I cant go through it again.

    We should steal the Heat scout Jermaine Cole that found Caleb Martin

    I thought you were done last year tbh. Lol you couldnt help it this year. I know if he plays well(Which he probably wont) you'll probably feel at least slightly vindicated like me.

    So are both Jimmy Butler and Erik Spoelstra essentially assured spots in the Naismith HOF now?

    Do each, or least Jimmy, need to win this title to warrant it?

    One of the craziest playoff series I can remember.

    Nuggets must now defend the Rockets status as the lowest seed to win it all.

    I would like to root for Harden on another team. Not the Rockets. It's more fun when he doesn't hold the future of the Rockets in his hands. I guess Im always going root for harden in some capacity.

    with that said, please do not come to Houston, harden. stay in Philly.
